this is the eighth attack on an embassy under hillary clinton alone. so we have to have a tough response. i think that it's also very interesting that these attacks are happening when the u.s. policy in the region is really withdrawn. we are not active in syria. we are doing just little, minor things around the edges, and yet we're a target. the turkish prime minister, erdogan, has been very vocal about syria and assad's brutal crackdown, and yet the attacks are happening on an american embassy. i think this just proves that america's always going to be a target whether we have a tough policy like in the bush administration or a weak policy during the obama administration. jenna: and let me get back to the issue of timing as well. as rick just mentioned, many consider turkey a good ally in the region, but there's also been questions raised about turkey and terror financing and where they really stand when it comes to issues regarding iran. so how do we navigate the way ahead with turkey especially since you said we should prepare ourselves potentially
